as the volume of smoke and nicotine thereopen end of the from. Thus a medium smoke may e ha with the absolute minimum of nicotine passing into the mouth of the smoker.

The details and arrangement of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings, in connection with the description hereinafter contained, and wherein a referred embodiment of the invention is isclosed for the urpose of imparting an understanding o the same.

Referring to the ,drawings, in which like numerals of reference designate like parts the several figures Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my improved cigarette holder;

Figure 2 is an end view; Figu and re 3 is a planview Figured is an enlarged plan view of the sleeve member.

In the practice oi my invention I provide a membe 10, which is held in the mouth. of the smoker as is-usual, and rovided with a head portion 11 within the 13 therethrough.

- This plate is shown as bemg held within the bore by projecting into an annular I groove; In assembly, the disk whlch is sufiiciently flexible, is passed into the bore from the outer end thereof, and snaps ,mto placewhen it. registers with the groove. 7 1s arrangement of the tion of the chamber 16 upon oneside thereof and .a chamber 14 upon the other side of the, disk, into whichJopens the orifice 15 through the member '10., I

Through the outer' wall of the head portion 11 are the ports 17 and 18 arranged upon opposite sides of the plate 12. S11

ably androtatably mounted upon thishead portion is the sleeve 25 which is l mlted 1n its outward movement by the engagement of the head 19 thereon wit the shoulder 20. Through the wall of the sleeve 25 areadesignated 21, 22 and 23. The no 21 and 22 are in the same axial line and the same distance apart as the ports 17 and ,to a new and'imbers 14 and ore of which is fixed a plate 12 having an opening or orlfice disk results in'theproducp r and 18 the discoloration is entirely absent,

18, and the port 23 is in j the port 22, so

that a slight rotation of'the sleeve upon the head portion will cause the ports 21 and 22 an anmmrsrns'rarx' to register with the ports 17 and 18, and

port 23 with the port 18. j

In use a cigarette illustrated in the drawingS by the broken sleeve 25. .The orifice 13 in the plate 12 is of such size that it will per mit a draft upon strength to smoke the same at a moderate speed and also limit both the speed and volume of smoke that will pass therethrdugh.

If the ports 17 and 18 are covere sleeve 25 the smoke from the cigarette will carry the nicotine with it'into the mouth of the smoker as is usual. The volume of lines 24, ismserted in the the cigarette of suflicient d by the:

smoke that will pass through the orifice 15 may be very materially reduced and the volume of the nicotine almost entirely eliminated by permitting oxygten h enter into either one or of the chamair is admitted'when the port 23 registers from the air to 16. The minimum quantity of with the port 18 and the maximum quantity when the ports 21 and 22 register with the ports 17 and 18.

Experimentation rette holder shows that the smeke exha ed. from the mouth of the smoker after a pufi upon the cigarette contains a sufficient quantity of nicotine white, cloth placed over themouth, and that with the use of the cigarette holder. herein shown with t e 'ports-23 and with each other this discoloration is very, materially decreased and when the smoke with the ordinary ci to noticeably discolar a 18 in register is exhaled after using the holder with the orts 21 and 22 in register with the ports 17 thus demonstrating that the nicotine .has been dissipated.

While I have shownmy plied to a cigarette holder, nevertheless it is equally as well adapted for attaehment'to- After a cigarette has been smoked, it is the stem of a pipe.

ejected from the holder by merely sliding the sleeve along the head portion 11.

2. In a device of the character described; a member having a bore; a separable plate within, the bore having a port therethrough substantially parallel with its axis, and whereby said bore is divided into chambers connected by said port; and a part through the wall of the member for each of the chambers,

3. v In a device of the character described; a member havinq a bore;'a separable plate within the bore avinga port therethrough substantially parallel withits axis, wherebysaid bore is 'divided' into chambers connected by said port, and a port through the wall of the member for each of the chamers; and a sleeve movably mounted upon the member having ports therein which registerwith the first mentio'n'ed ports.

4. In a device of the character described; a member having a bore'thereimand a plurality of ports through the wall thereof; a plate having an opening therethrough and separably secured within the bore between said ports'yand a'sleeve with ports therethroughthat register with the first mentioned ports. and having a longitudinal and rotary movement unon the member.

5. In a device of the character described; a member having a bore therein and a rality of ports through the Wall thereof; a separable plate, having an opening therethrough, within said bore between the said ports; and a sleeve encircling the member, having ports therethrough in the same axial line that register with said ports; and another port'in the same peripheral-line as one of said ports.
